Description

Introduce new endpoints to support copying components from the canvas and pasting that same payload at a specific place on the canvas. These new endpoints should leverage the existing VersionedComponent model that is used for Registry interaction and downloading/uploading Flows from a NiFi instance.

This JIRA will also be used to address some issues with handling of external resources in the VersionedComponent model. Specifically, handling of external Parameter Contexts, Parameter Providers, and Controller Services.
